Flicks & Kicks

Nov 02, 2008 10:34

I've been enjoying the perks of my Plan 9 shift.
Here's what I've seen in the past couple of weeks, in no particular order.

Paul Newman flicks (got the Spotlight rack, RIP):
Cool Hand Luke
The Sting
The Hudsucker Proxy
The Color of Money

Gus Van Sant:
Paranoid Park
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Hal Ashby:
Being There
The Last Detail

Fellini:
8 1/2
La Strada

Quay Bros
The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes
The Phantom Museum

various Svankmajer shorts
Delicatessen
MST3K: Time chasers
The Last Waltz
Danielson Movie Pitchfork TV!
Indiana Jones: Temple of the Crytal Skulls

Fractions of: Phantom of Liberty, Eastern Promises, Dan Akroyd Unplugged on UFOs

deductions:
-Paul Newman was a good actor, and an especially amiable presence. There's some Christ imagery in Cool Hand Luke that need some screenshots
-UFOs are absolutely extra-terrestrial crafts.
-Hal Ashby (director, also, of Harold & Maude) deserves directorial clout
(http://www.goodmagazine.com/section/Features/the_directors_director).
-Gus Van Sant is a good photographer and a bad film-maker.
-My job at the Union complements my Plan 9 shift beautifully!

I'm setting up a print space for silkscreen in my basement, just spent a small fortune on materials. Also, it sounds like I'll be helping out with the new youth print-space at Rhino's.

I registered as a songwriter on BMI. A real songwriter.
It seems we've conned Karl and Ross to release The Delicious'
first album on Joyful Noise/Decimal Records.

This sounds like I'm selling myself... as a creator and creative consumer.
Trying to be creatively productive is important to me. These are the things that feel like a highlights reel. I feel like I've become a lot more closed-minded about what appeals to me.
I'm trying to be more receptive lately...

I wish I had an equivalent muse to Daniel Smith's spiritual passion.
